Dame Emma Thompson has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it?
The acclaimed actress/screenwriter/author/generally awesome person took on, perhaps, her most significant role on Wednesday — that of Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire.
The 59 year old got on bent knee during an official affair at Buckingham Palace where her honor was bestowed by the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William.

After receiving her Damehood for Services to Drama, the Love Actually star asked the Prince if she could give him a kiss!
Speaking of the moment she shared with the William, Emma said, “I love Prince William! I’ve known him since he was little, and we just sniggered at each other. I said, ‘I can’t kiss you, can I?’ And he said, ‘No, don’t!’”
